Signage was present at the southeast <br /> corner of the main quarry area.The weather was sunny with temperatures in the 60's. <br /> The access road is blocked with boulders per the Final Reclamation Plan. There was evidence of approved <br /> alternative growth media and mulching material (a combination of fish emulsion solids, spent grain solids, <br /> spent potato mash solids, mulch, and topsoil) on the surface of the road. Within the quarry floor, Pete Lien & <br /> Sons, Inc. previously performed weed eradication, site stabilization, and erosion control. Per the Final <br /> Reclamation Plan, there were five 24" tall sediment control windrows running perpendicular to the west-to- <br /> east gradient on the quarry floor. In addition, a trench lined with rip-rap, was constructed on the western side <br /> of the quarry floor. <br /> The eastern slope, the quarry floor, the northern upper access bench, as well as most of the remaining quarry <br /> area contained signs of adequate revegetation with new spring regrowth of grasses and sage present. There <br /> was no evidence of gullying or erosion, the elongated windrows and trench effective at trapping any eroded <br /> sediment. The vegetation on the quarry floor also appeared to prevent any additional erosion. <br /> Recommended Changes to Operations or Corrective Actions Needed <br /> • None at this time <br /> Photo Summary <br /> Page 1 of 3 <br />
